I don’t do very much with astrophotography, but I thought I’d give it a try with the triple conjunction yesterday evening. Venus is on the left, Mars is above it and slightly to the right, the crescent Moon is on the right, partially illuminated by earthshine.

I was honored last week to have one of my images selected by Steve Beltz to receive 1st place in the Advanced Color category of the Loudoun Photography Club’s “Water” competition. It’s a wonderful tribute to our Founding Fathers.

It’s hard to believe that though I’ve lived in Northern Virginia for several years, until today I had never visited Morven Park in Leesburg, VA. Absolutely beautiful grounds and a rich history. The house and museum were closed, but I enjoyed capturing some images of the house and surrounding grounds.

A friend recently contacted me about taking photos of his daughter who is wanting to build her modeling portfolio. I readily agreed. She was looking for fitness themed images, so we met at a local track. Here are a few of my favorites.

My church held their annual Vacation Bible School this past week and the organizers asked me to photograph the event. The VBS was conducted by UW Sports Ministry, who combine VBS teaching with a sports camp theme. The sports included cheerleading, football, soccer, and basketball. The kids seemed to have a lot of fun. Here are a few of my favorite pictures.
